Anderson Plaza Decatur, Illinois 62523 RE: Fiscal Year 2015 Downstate Operating Assistance Grant No. OP-15-08-IL, Contract No. 4576 Mayor McElroy: Enclosed is your agency's fully executed copy of the above referenced grant agreement, executed on July 18, 2014. The agreement provides up to the amount appropriated for your agency under Public Act PA98-0681 for the purpose of identifying the maximum funding available to your agency and to eliminate the need for any amendment in the future, even if your application budget supports a smaller eligible reimbursement amount. We will contact you should we have questions regarding your agency's application or program of proposed expenditures. The Downstate Operating Assistance Program funding will fund the least of 65% of FY2015 actual eligible operating expense, DOAP deficit or your agency's DOAP appropriation. Grant payments are subject to all other limitations in the Agreement, therefore all DOAP payment requests must be based on, and be consistent with, either the estimated expense approved in your application budget for Downstate Operating Assistance Program funds, or when available, actual expense reported. If you have not done so, please forward any first quarter payment requests to your project manager at this time for processing. Please contact me at 312-793-2332 or iohn.marrella(a)-illinois.Qov, if you have any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, C7Y OF DECATUR, IL John J.
